Short answer: the JBL Partybox Club 120. It ranks #6 of 51 party speakers by sound quality (rated 4.5/5) at $349.95 and is still sold new; the Samsung MX-ST50B ranks #25 (rated 3.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The JBL Partybox Club 120 is the better-sounding option. A party speaker on wheels with quite neutral sound, a removable battery, and mic and guitar inputs. The catch: High price, and JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.
The Samsung MX-ST50B is the longer-running choice. A splash resistant party tower with two woofers, karaoke input, app EQ, and linking for up to ten speakers. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Partybox Club 120. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the JBL Partybox Club 120 lacks. The tradeoff: Output drops sharply to 90W on battery, so it needs mains power for its full impact.
Buy the JBL Partybox Club 120. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Samsung MX-ST50B is no longer sold new.
